Title: 45 Metres Deep, All Under One Roof: What 160+ Incidents Taught Us About Diving Safety

Since opening in 2020, Deepspot has hosted 300,000 dives — from first breaths underwater to competitive dives down to 45 metres.

Since 2022, every medical incident at the facility has been entered into a structured database, recording accident details, parameters, mechanisms, risk factors, and the course of rescue operations. No other deep diving pool in the world maintains — or at least publicly shares — a comparable dataset.

At Baltictech 2026, we will open this database to the public for the first time. The data reveal a picture that differs from what intuition might suggest — even the intuition developed through hundreds of dives. Not everything we take for granted in diving is confirmed by real-world evidence.

What five years of incident data can tell us about ourselves as divers — you’ll find out live at Baltictech 2026.
